How bad can a robot hit or ram another robot until officials intervene?
I'm under the assumption that its a free for all and that you can go out and just punish the other robots on the field.

In FIRST we don't use force to disable a robot...You can push, shove, and "hit" a robot; but intentionally ramming a robot from across the field is grounds for DQ. I've been a ref, and have had to make those calls...trust me, ramming a robot to defend a goal is one thing, but to ram them just to ram them is uncalled for. Use your best judgement, and always remember..."Gracious Professionalism" (Don't do something to another robot, unless you want it done to yourself)
